My long arm quilter does not recommend using tee shirts on both sides so I use a quilting cotton on the back.....wide if I can find one. Feel free to reach out if you have questions....glad to help you through the process.

This is my first T-shirt quilt and it isn't completed yet, so I'm not in a position to make recommendations. However, I plan to use batting in mine. Fireside is fuzzy and thicker than flannel but not as thick as fleece. I'd still use batting with fleece as I want this quilt to be warm, not a wall-hanging.
